Hi I've been browsing the forum since I got my mini over the Easter and thought it was a good idea to introduce myself and put up a picture of the new motor....

I always wanted a mini for my first car but never got round to getting it as my dad wouldn't let me, but I finally persuaded him to allow me to get one for my 2nd car. I'm really into the euro/cleaned/jdm scene but I still have a passion for mini's and thats why I decided to get one.

This is what I know about the car as it is:

Austin Mini 1000 with what I believe is a 1275 engine in but not sure whether its an mpi, spi or gt engine
Adjusta Ride Height
Negative Camber Kit
Performance Manifold
Straight Through Centre Exit Exhaust (De-Cat)
7x13 Minilight Deep Dish Wheels with 175/50/13 Yokahoma's
Sportspack Arches (I think)
Pearlescent Cream Roof

What I would love to know about the car:

What colour is the paintwork?
What engine do I actually have? (I know it sounds stupid)

Hope you guys like the car and once I have got some more pictures of it I will post them up but what category do I post them under?

P.S. The car next to it is my mums new Cooper S
